Even when seen from near, the olive showsA hue of far away. Perhaps for this...The dove brought olive back, a tree which growsUnearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,Teaches the South it is not paradise.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield; but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that ...the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the wild animals may eat.

These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his ...horsemen, and to run before his chariots; and he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots.

For mainstream American blacks, the vast majority of churches have Hebrew names--Ebenezer, Mount Zion, Canaan, Mount Moriah, Taber...nacle, New Hebron, Mount Olive. Hebraic traditions run deep in the black church. More than any people on earth, including the Jews, American blacks have adopted the Mosaic model of social organization, with the exalted political prophet bonded to the "children of Israel" below. Blacks and Jews have in common a history of cyclical swings between cultural separatism and assimilation. Black Zionists helped establish an independent Liberia in 1847, some fifty years before the emergence of modern Jewish Zionism. Jews, who have canonized no new prophets in two millennia and who shudder at the memory of their false messiahs, look with both longing and horror upon the last generation's procession of black prophets: Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Louis Farrakhan, and Jesse Jackson. Depending on one's prediction of the outcome, blacks and Jews are either intimate enemies or quarrelsome cousins.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Excluded by my birth and tastes from the social order, I was not aware of its diversity.... Nothing in the world was irrelevant: t...he stars on a general's sleeve, the stock-market quotations, the olive harvest, the style of the judiciary, the wheat exchange, flower-beds.... Nothing.
